Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (GTBank) has been awarded Nigeria’s Best Bank & Africa’s Best Bank for SMEs during the 2017 Euromoney Awards held in London.

According to Mr. Clive Horwood, Euromoney Magazine’s Editor:

“Nigeria went through a difficult year as low oil prices and capital flight continued to hurt the country’s economy. Many banks struggled as a result of this but GTBank remained strong, recording significant and enviable financial and non-financial performance. The bank’s digital transformation drive has been very successful, as it has enabled the bank to deepen financial inclusion across Africa with its array of tailor-made digital solutions that has made banking simpler and more accessible.”

On the award, Managing Director (MD)/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GTBank, Mr. Segun Agbaje, said:

“We are honoured to win the Best Bank in Nigeria award a record eight times and to be recognised as Africa’s Best Bank for SMEs. These awards reflect our progress in building strong, value-adding relationships with our customers whilst positioning the bank as the financial institution for Small and Medium Enterprises through our creation of free business platforms that are geared towards promoting enterprise in key economic sectors.We remain committed to maximising shareholders’ value and delivering superior and sustainable return, guided by our founding values of hardwork, discipline and integrity.
